I picked up a hard copy of The Odyssey recently. I'm sure it must be much better when listened to - it makes very flowery (florid?) reading.

Personally I switched away after about 15 minutes, probably going back to Dracula. Dracula is more procedural, it's like the main character reading out his computer program of a life, at the beginning anyway.

TO was interesting in some ways but read a bit like the dedication to the crown in the KJV. I did wonder if there are translations that make it more fun for the less-flowery-minded...
